The late Spanish painter Salvador Dali (May 11, 1904 -January 23, 1989) was one of the 20th century’s most memorable and eccentric artists, pioneering an artistic style called Surrealism, where he pushed the limits of modern painting with a fantasy of images that seemed to exist in a dimension outside of our own. Salvador’s memory was commemorated last year on the 11th day of November, at 11:11 am, with the opening of the new Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Fl, which received a new location and a radical new design that would have met the approval of Dali himself.
Below are some paintings from this master illusionist. His legacy lives on through his work, and the dogmatic precedent that he set for artists all over the world.
